Located in Pleasant Mount, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, Belmont Lake offers a public boat ramp for paddlers and boaters accessing this 173-acre lake. The access site features a surfaced launch ramp with associated parking facilities, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and other watercraft. This is a straightforward, accessible entry point for exploring the lake and its connection to the West Branch Lackawaxen River.
**Important regulations to note:** All unpowered boats (including kayaks and canoes) must be registered or display a current launch permit before use. Innertubes and swim aids are not permitted on the water. Be sure to check with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regarding current permit requirements and any seasonal restrictions before your visit.
The lake sits in the scenic Appalachian Mountains region of northeastern Pennsylvania, offering paddlers a moderately-sized water body for flatwater paddling and fishing opportunities. Nearby Prompton Lake provides an alternative recreation option in the area if you're exploring multiple sites.
